Jon Stewart on white privilege (cc: unnamed posters... etc.)

Did you thoroughly review his record? I never saw anything about his record other than the robbery, but that does not by any stretch mean he had no record.

I read all the reports about how he had no prior criminal record. Not sure why I answered because I know you're dead-set on vilifying him to justify your own bigoted views. Whatever helps you sleep at night you piece of ****

How old are you?

Piece of four stars? You called log a star? I agree.

 

[HighlandHomie]

How old are you?

Old enough to buy porn and too young to collect social security. But, hey, women can be pig cops too: https://www.theroot.com/articles/cu..._front_of_his_kids_for_sitting_in_public.html

Are you actually from Highland? Like born and raised there?

Please support your bigotry against me by quoting every post in which I vilified him. Also please quote every post I have posted proving said "bigotry".

Otherwise I will happily accept your apology.

Born, no. Raised, kinda. Parents split and my mom still lives there. I went to school in Utah, NorCal and Colorado. Always been a Jazz fan though.

Lawsuit seeking release of Michael Brown's juvenile records claims slain teen was a murder suspect

An explosive new lawsuit filed in St. Louis seeking the release of Michael Brown's juvenile criminal record alleges the slain teen was a gang member and faced a second degree murder charge.

He has no criminal record as an adult, but only because he had recently turned 18, claims GotNews Editor-in-chief Charles Johnson.

This cynical view of the motivations of white America sounds like it came from the Black Panthers. But you're probably correct: none of us want lower crime and incarceration rates, or the perceived welfare problems to go away. When we say we want to fix that, we really mean we want to keep blacks under our collective current power structure boot.

The Black Panthers had many important things to say (unless you mean the New Black Panthers).

I think most white people would prefer for lower crime and incarceration rates and welfare problems to go away, as long as it does not remove blacks from the bottom of the power structure.

Even if this is true (and considering these are the same police sources that said Wilson had a broken bone, it may well not be), being arrested is not a criminal offense, and Brown would still have a clean criminal record. If his record was wiped clean, that means he was never tried as an adult for anything, so there are no serious offenses.

A large, black male being suspected by police is not evidence, its status quo.

I agree with the bolded, but I think everything after that is a bunch of bunk (that you could never prove). You really think the majority of white people want a specific race to struggle? That's sad. Really sad.

Bruh, anybody that gets seen by a cop walking down the middle of the road is going to get targeted by said cop. As a large, white male, I can confirm this.

I think this implies something that isn't true.

No, I don't think that. I just said I thought the opposite of that in the post you responded to.

I think you missed the context there.

OK. What's the part that's not true, in your opinion?

That the majority of white people would actively have a preference for black people to be kept on a lower power level.

I fully acknowledge that white privilege as we have discussed numerous times on this board does exist. I do not believe that means that the majority of white people seek it out, and actively would wish to keep black people oppressed.

I personally would be very happy if we could eliminate the word "white" from that phrase and that we could be working together toward a higher standard of living for everyone that could be equally expected by all, regardless of race or religion or what-have-you.
